From the results of Table No. 4. 77, it is observed that,

1. The relationship between academic achievement with general

mental alertness of aided prospective teachers is found to be

positive and significant (r=0.3019, p<0.05) at 0.05% level of

significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected and

alternative hypothesis is accepted indicating that the general

mental alertness of aided prospective teachers increases with

increase in their academic achievement.

2. The relationship between academic achievement with interest

in teaching of aided prospective teachers is found to be

negative and significant (r=-0.2300, p<0.05) at 0.05% level of

significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected and

alternative hypothesis is accepted indicating that the interest

in teaching of aided prospective teachers increases or

decreases with decrease or increase in their academic

achievement.

3. The relationship between academic achievement with

emotional intelligence of aided prospective teachers is found

to be positive and not significant (r=0.0601, p>0.05) at 0.05%

and alternative hypothesis is rejected.

4. The relationship between academic achievement with attitude

towards teaching profession of aided prospective teachers is

found to be positive and not significant (r=0.1627, p>0.05) at

0.05% level of significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is

accepted and alternative hypothesis is rejected.

5. The relationship between academic achievement with

personality of aided prospective teachers is found to be

negative and not significant (r=-0.0541, p>0.05) at 0.05% level

From the results of Table No. 4.78, it is observed that,

1. The relationship between academic achievement with

general mental alertness of unaided prospective teachers is

found to be positive and significant (r=0.5813, p<0.05) at

0.05% level of significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is

achievement of prospective teachers

To test this hypothesis, the multiple linear regression

analysis was performed and the results are presented in the

following table.

353

From the results of Table No. 4.79, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

on academic achievement of prospective teachers are found to

be positive and significant at 0.05% level of significance

indicating that the general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3) and attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) are impacting or influencing

positively on academic achievement of prospective teachers.

2. The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of

prospective teachers is found to be positive and not significant

at 0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of prospective teachers (Y) in terms of

general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

20.4181+0.208X1+0.4596X2+0.0910X3+0.1550X4+0.0044X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8533.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (184.31)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

354

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the predictors

like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of prospective teachers.

Further, the regression equation shows that general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7281. It

can therefore be said that nearly 72.81 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of prospective teachers accounted for

whatever is measured by general mental alertness (X1), interest

in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of prospective

teachers can be taken together. The SEest for the regression

equation is 3.2014. This means that each time the regression

equation for the sample is used to predict the academic

achievement of prospective teachers, that predicted academic

achievement will not miss the actual academic achievement of

prospective teachers by more that ±3.2014.

355

The relative contribution of general mental alertness,

interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards

teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of

prospective teachers are presented in the following table.

on academic achievement of prospective teachers. The total

contribution of two explanatory variables on academic

achievement of prospective teachers is found to be 72.81% in

which the variable general mental alertness (X1) contributes

maximum that is 24.9994% followed by 22.3624% of attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) of prospective teachers, of

16.6869% by interest in teaching (X2) and of 8.4698% by

emotional intelligence (X3).

358

From the results of Table No. 4.81, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of

male prospective teachers are found to be positive and

significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the

general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting or

influencing positively on academic achievement of male

prospective teachers.

2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality

(X5) on academic achievement of male prospective teachers is

found to be not significant at 0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of male prospective teachers (Y) in

terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

23.8105+0.1863X1+0.3355X2+0.0768X3+0.1759X4-0.03964X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8157.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (67.22)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

359

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of male prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of male prospective teachers.

Further, the regression equation shows that general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of male prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6654. It

can therefore be said that nearly 66.54 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of male prospective teachers accounted

for whatever is measured by general mental alertness (X1),

interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of male

prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest for the

regression equation is 3.0169. This means that each time the

regression equation for the sample is used to predict the

academic achievement of male prospective teachers, that

predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual

360

academic achievement of male prospective teachers by more that

±3.0169.

From the results of Table No. 4.83, it is observed that,

The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of

female prospective teachers are found to be positive and

significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the

general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and

The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality

(X5) on academic achievement of female prospective teachers

is found to be not significant at 0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of female prospective teachers (Y) in

Academic achievement =

20.0115+0.2139X1+0.5604X2+0.0868X3+0.1423X4+0.0309X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8761.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (111.64)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

364

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of female prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

From the results of Table No. 4.85, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

on academic achievement of kannada medium prospective

teachers are found to be positive and significant at 0.05%

level of significance indicating that the general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

are impacting or influencing positively on academic

achievement of kannada medium prospective teachers.

2. The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of

kannada medium prospective teachers is found to be not

significant at 0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of kannada medium prospective

teachers (Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in

369

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8902.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (147.86)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of kannada medium prospective teachers is possible on the basis

of the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of kannada

medium prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation

shows that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of

academic achievement of kannada medium prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7921. It

can therefore be said that nearly 79.21 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of kannada medium prospective

teachers accounted for whatever is measured by general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) of kannada medium prospective teachers can be

taken together. The SEest for the regression equation is 2.9548.

This means that each time the regression equation for the

personality would not be significant predictors of academic

achievement of English medium prospective teachers

To test this hypothesis, the multiple linear regression

analysis was performed and the results are presented in the

following table.

From the results of Table No. 4.87, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of

english medium prospective teachers are found to be positive

and significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that

the general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2)

and attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting

or influencing positively on academic achievement of english

medium prospective teachers.

2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality

(X5) of English medium prospective teachers on their

academic achievement are found to be not significant at

0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of english medium prospective

teachers (Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given

here:

Academic achievement =

27.2933+0.1785X1+0.4296X2+0.0356X3+0.1534X4+0.0705X5

374

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.7821.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (45.38)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of english medium prospective teachers is possible on the basis

of the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of English medium

prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation shows

that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of

academic achievement of english medium prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6117. It

can therefore be said that nearly 61.17 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of english medium prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

English medium prospective teachers can be taken together. The

SEest for the regression equation is 3.4639. This means that each

time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the

375

academic achievement of English medium prospective teachers,

that predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual

academic achievement of English medium prospective teachers

by more that ±3.4639.

The relative contribution of general mental alertness,

interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards

teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of

English medium prospective teachers are presented in the

following table.

From the results of Table No. 4.89, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of

arts prospective teachers are found to be positive and

significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the

general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting or

prospective teachers.

2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality

(X5) on academic achievement of arts prospective teachers are

found to be not significant at 0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of arts prospective teachers (Y) in

terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

18.1537+0.1886X1+0.4563X2+0.0593X3+0.2142X4+-0.0124X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8611.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (97.01)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

379

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of arts prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of arts prospective teachers.

Further, the regression equation shows that general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of arts prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7416. It

can therefore be said that nearly 74.16 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of arts prospective teachers accounted

for whatever is measured by general mental alertness (X1),

interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of arts

prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest for the

regression equation is 3.1695. This means that each time the

From the results of Table No. 4.91, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

on academic achievement of science prospective teachers are

found to be positive and significant at 0.05% level of

significance indicating that the general mental alertness (X1),

interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3) and

prospective teachers.

2. The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of

science prospective teachers is found to be not significant at

0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of science prospective teachers (Y) in

terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

21.6264+0.2375X1+0.4277X2+0.1287X3+0.1018X4+0.0121X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8535.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (90.68)

384

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of science prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

achievement of science prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7284. It

can therefore be said that nearly 72.84 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of science prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

From the results of Table No. 4.93, it is observed that,

The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

on academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers

are found to be positive and significant at 0.05% level of

significance indicating that the general mental alertness (X1),

interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3) and

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting or

influencing positively on academic achievement of graduate

prospective teachers.

The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of

graduate prospective teachers is found to be not significant at

0.05% level of significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers (Y) in

terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

21.0859+0.1670X1+0.5646X2+0.0875X3+0.1439X4+0.0478X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8322.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (109.93)

389

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of graduate prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of graduate prospective

teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of graduate prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6925. It

can therefore be said that nearly 69.25 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

graduate prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest

for the regression equation is 3.1441. This means that each time

the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the

academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers, that

predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual

From the results of Table No. 4.95, it is observed that, the

influences of independent variables such as general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) on academic achievement of postgraduate

prospective teachers are found to be positive and significant at

0.05% level of significance indicating that the general mental

alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) of postgraduate prospective teachers are

impacting or influencing positively on academic achievement.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers

(Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

20.6450+0.3224X1+0.2022X2+0.1195X3+0.1405X4+0.0817X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9669. For

testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (85.28) was

found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null hypothesis

is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted. Significant R

suggests that estimation of academic achievement of

394

postgraduate prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of postgraduate prospective

teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.9348. It

can therefore be said that nearly 93.48 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

postgraduate prospective teachers can be taken together. The

SEest for the regression equation is 2.8546. This means that each

time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the

academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers, that

predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual

academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers by

more that ±2.8546.

The above Table No.4.96 presents the relative contribution

of general mental alertness, interest in teaching, emotional

intelligence, attitude towards teaching profession and personality

on academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers.

The total contribution of two explanatory variables on academic

396

achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers is found to be

93.4868% in which the variable general mental alertness (X1)

contributes maximum that is 50.8624% followed by 16.5538% of

attitude towards teaching profession (X4), of 7.7952% by interest

in teaching (X2), of 12.5033% by emotional intelligence (X3) and

personality of postgraduate prospective teachers (X5) by

5.7721%.

52. Hypothesis: General mental alertness, interest in teaching,

emotional intelligence, attitude towards teaching profession and

personality would not be significant predictors of academic

achievement of Government prospective teachers

To test this hypothesis, the multiple linear regression

analysis was performed and the results are presented in the

following table.

From the results of Table No. 4.97, it is observed that,

The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3) and personality (X5) on academic

achievement of Government prospective teachers are found to

be positive and significant at 0.05% level of significance

indicating that the general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Government

prospective teachers are impacting or influencing positively on

academic achievement.

But the influence of attitude towards teaching profession (X4)

on academic achievement of Government prospective teachers

is found to be negative and significant at 0.05% level of

significance indicating that the attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) of Government prospective teachers is

impacting or influencing negatively on academic achievement.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of Government prospective teachers

(Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

399

Academic achievement =

42.2424+0.0658X1+0.1952X2+0.0489X3-0.0309X4+0.5662X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9812.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (486.89)

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of Government prospective teachers is possible on the basis of

the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in

teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards

teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Government

prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation shows

that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of

academic achievement of Government prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.9628. It

can therefore be said that nearly 96.28 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of Government prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

400

Government prospective teachers can be taken together. The

SEest for the regression equation is 0.3981. This means that each

time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the

academic achievement of Government prospective teachers, that

predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual

academic achievement of Government prospective teachers by

more that ±0.3981.

The relative contribution of general mental alertness,

interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards

teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of

Government prospective teachers are presented in the following

table.

From the results of Table No. 4.101, it is observed that,

1. The influences of independent variables such as general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude

towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of

unaided prospective teachers are found to be positive and

significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the

general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) of unaided

prospective teachers are impacting or influencing positively on

academic achievement.

2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality

(X5) on academic achievement of unaided prospective

teachers is found to be not significant at 0.05% level of

significance.

Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting

the academic achievement of unaided prospective teachers (Y) in

terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),

emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:

Academic achievement =

17.0006+0.1746X1+1.0293X2+0.0241X3+0.1917X4-0.0366X5

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9008.

For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (102.54)

409

was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null

hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement

of unaided prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the

predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching

(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching

profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Unaided prospective

teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general

mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional

intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and

personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic

achievement of unaided prospective teachers.

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.8116. It

can therefore be said that nearly 81.16 percent of the variation

in academic achievement of unaided prospective teachers

accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness

(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),

attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

unaided prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest for

the regression equation is 3.6065. This means that each time the
